 * `TEXT` can be read into a `[]const u8` or `[]u8`.
 * `TEXT` can be read into any array of `u8` with a sentinel provided the data fits.
 * `BLOB` follows the same rules as `TEXT`.
+* `NULL` can be read into any optional.
 
 Note that arrays must have a sentinel because we need a way to communicate where the data actually stops in the array, so for example use `[200:0]u8` for a `TEXT` field.
